Normally, you can manipulate your Taskbar by adding or removing toolbars, or by moving the position of toolbars. But, on enabling this setting, you cannot manipulate toolbars from the Taskbar.

NoCloseDragDropBands:It does not allow user to manipulate the existing toolbar. The toolbar can not be removed or added if this setting has been made enabled earlier. Even doesn’t allow the user to change the position of toolbars on Taskbar.

NoMovingBands:This setting can lock the toolbar without applying a check mark on “Lock the Taskbar” option.

Now you can set the preferred setting as listed below.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. If the subkey “\Explorer” does not exist, create it as explained below. Then, create the DWORD values “NoCloseDragDropBands” and “NoMovingBands”, in the right panel.

Now, right-click and modify their value to “1” to change the Taskbar settings. However, if you want to get back to the original state, change the value to “0” or delete the added values.

Users can change the positions of icons and place them anywhere on the desktop. Windows saves such settings even when the user logs off or restarts the system. This setting can let you disable such feature.
